Evaluating Java Applets For Teaching On The Internet, Michael R. Healy '04, Dale E. Berger, Victoria L. Romero '07, Christopher L. Aberson '99, Amanda Saw '11

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

The Web Interface for Statistics Education (http://wise.cgu.edu) is a website built around interactive tutorials designed to teach introductory and advanced statistical concepts. The tutorials use Java applets that dynamically illustrate the statistical concepts being taught. By using Java applets, we teach statistics in a manner not possible in a traditional classroom environment. In this paper, we provide examples of the applets, illustrate how students use them, and we report the outcome of a study that examined tutorial effectiveness as a learning tool.

Patterns Of Emotion Within Mathematics Problem-Solving, Frances A. Rosamond Jun 1987

Patterns Of Emotion Within Mathematics Problem-Solving, Frances A. Rosamond

Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal

There is often a divide between the experience of positive emotions toward math on the part of mathematical educators and negative emotions toward math on the part of students. This paper utilizes psychologist Richard Lazarus's work on the effects of positive emotions in order to highlight their benefits for mathematical pedagogy, to explain the author's experiment applying Lazarus's theory, and to suggest ways this application might support and foster positive emotions in students.


Do We Really Know What Makes Educational Software Effective? A Call For Empirical Research On Effectiveness, Karen Jolicoeur, Dale E. Berger Nov 1986

Do We Really Know What Makes Educational Software Effective? A Call For Empirical Research On Effectiveness, Karen Jolicoeur, Dale E. Berger

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

Empirical information on specific factors that make educational software effective in reaching instructional objectives would be of considerable value. The authors describe the current state of evaluation research with educational software and discuss how popular software review methods fall short of meeting our need to know how well specific programs work.


Review Of John G. Kemeny's Man And The Computer, David E. Drew Apr 1973

Review Of John G. Kemeny's Man And The Computer, David E. Drew

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

Set against this formidable background, Man and the Computer will be a disappointment to those who expect a detailed, highly technical presentation. Rather, this book is a popular description of man-machine interaction via time-sharing systems, with particular emphasis on the Dartmouth experience, combined with a futuristic sketch of the ways in which such systems can benefit society.


The First Year Of College: A Follow-Up Normative Report, David E. Drew, Alan E. Bayer, Alexander W. Astin, Robert F. Boruch, John A. Creager Feb 1970

The First Year Of College: A Follow-Up Normative Report, David E. Drew, Alan E. Bayer, Alexander W. Astin, Robert F. Boruch, John A. Creager

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

The major purpose of this ongoing research program is to determine how students are affected by the colleges they attend (Astin, Panos, and Creager, 1966). Consequently, subsamples of the original groups of participating students have been periodically followed up. These follow-up surveys consist in part of post-tests on selected items administered previously in the Freshman Information Form and in part of items that cover the student's experiences and achievements at his institution, his aspirations and plans for the future, his perceptions and evaluations of the college environment, and his educational outcomes and academic standing.
